Don’t you just LOVE when you have to assemble furniture? LOL! While it’s not the most fun thing to do, it certainly isn’t the worst thing either, and it can save you a lot of money. My mom recently bought two shelves for their den/office space. We spent the afternoon assembling one of them (it took us 2 hours to get it all together). Baby was not amused.

At first she seemed pretty excited to explore all the “stuff” that we had laid out. She was also kind of happy that we were BOTH on the floor, which of course meant we must be ready to play with her. Of course, it didn’t last and she got a little miffed that we were not paying full attention to her, and were instead paying attention to this shelf thing instead. She survived though, and got lots of play and snuggle time after we got the shelf in place.

We still have one to put together. I do like how the companies have made it a lot easier to put things together now though. Still, there were a lot of screws to be put in, which always takes a bit of time, especially when they tell you in the instructions NOT to use a drill. It was fun assembling it with my mom though, she’s always easy to work with. Now, if we could just teach Baby to use a screw driver, we would really be set!
